[OpenAFS-devel] klog not connecting, /afs not mounting, v1.3.71

[Gregory Davis]

I am lost as where to even begin in tracing this behavior, but essentially 
klog cannot connect to a remote kdc server (although the krb5 kinit does), 
and afsd runs, loads, but cannot mount the filesystem.  I have made the /afs 
directory, run afsd as root, and the cache directory (in my 
case /var/cache/afs) begins to fill up with seemingly useful data.  I have 
setup the CellServDB and ThisCell files appropriately.  To give you an idea, 
I am compiling version 1.3.71 with gcc-3.4.0, kernel 2.6.8.1, and sanitized 
kernel headers in /usr/include.

Thanks,
Greg

I get the following from dmesg:
libafs: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
Failed to find address of sys_call_table

This is what caused that:

$ /usr/sbin/afsd -stat 2000 -dcache 800 -daemons 3 -volumes 70  
-cachedir /var/cache/afs -mountdir /afs
afsd: All AFS daemons started.
